Tuckerberry Hill Farm – Year 10 Business Management Excursions

Over the last few weeks, our Year 10 Business Management students had the opportunity to visit a local primary producer, TuckerBerry Hill Farm less than 5kms away from Saint Ignatius College.

This working farm has been growing organic produce like fresh raspberry’s, strawberry’s, passionfruit and tomatoes for over 20 years showcasing the best of what the Bellarine Peninsula conditions can offer.

Chris and Dave Lean, owners, are passionate farmers, educators and advocates for locally produced artisanal goods. Tuckerberry Hill Farm is a great weekend outing for the family with all sorts of goodies available including homemade ice creams, fruit juices, jams and preserves, dried fruits, freshly baked breads, pastries and amazing local / wild honey.

Students were able to see first hand the many layers and complexities involved with running a small / medium style tourisms business including customer service, marketing/advertising, quality control, pricing, staffing and HR management and Workplace Health and Safety requirements.

This excursion is helping students to decide on their our business ideas for the upcoming $20.00 Boss Project where students will plan and organise their own unique business operation. We thank Chris and Dave for their time speaking with the students giving them excellent advice and support.
